You were a woman of a humble beginning. Your parents died when you were young, and you were left to fend for yourself. Sometimes people would pity you and offer you shelter for a night, a simple meal or scraps but everything else you had would need to come from you. You quickly learnt how to pickpocket and break into houses, taking what you needed and sometimes just what you wanted. Soon life wasn't too hard, you could take what you wanted to either use or pay for what you needed and there didn't seem to be anything you couldn't steal.

Soon your confidence grew, houses and small businesses were something but Winterfell itself, the actual castle was your new target. You'd found a way in without anyone noticing and stole rather petty things the first couple of times but now that you knew a way in and it was easy, you decided to go back again.

You had a small satchel to fill with goods, not wanting anyone to question what you were carrying if you took more. It filled rather quickly as you took gold coins, jewellery and anything else you thought you could sell for a decent price.

As you continued searching the room, you heard the door open. You jumped towards the window so that you would be able to escape easily but pulled out your dagger, ready to fight.

"Who are you?" The man asked.

You recognised him instantly. It was the bastard son of the Lord of Winterfell, Jon Snow.

"I'm not a fan of sharing my name," you stated as he pulled out his sword, noticing your satchel full of his family's belongings. "Now I shall make my leave."

"I can't let you do that," he frowned, taking a step towards you. "I shall not allow a common thief to leave."

"Don't worry, Jon Snow," you smirked. "I'll be back for more."

He narrowed his eyes at you. "What else is there for you to steal?" He asked. "You seem to have taken anything you can get your hands on."

You offered him a gentle smile as you hopped onto the window ledge, still holding out your dagger towards him, not wanting to give him an opportunity to cause you any harm or alarm any guards that you were there.

"There is no reason to threat. I shall be back to steal your heart."

With that you hoped out of the window and ran as fast as your legs could handle to get away from the castle and not be caught.
